My colleagues and I have expressed concern about community-based restorative justice schemes in the past, and I am still concerned about many aspects of them. However, the Lords amendment endeavoured to assist, and I think that explicit legislation is always preferable to implicit legislation. I cannot understand why the Government did not want this House to accept that amendment. However, given the support of Her Majesty's Opposition as well as the Government, there is clearly no reason for the House to divide.
